The AEROSPLINT Rolled Aluminium Foam Splint is a highly adaptive splint that can be rolled, folded or formed into almost any shape, then held with a support bandage. Immobilisation limits further injury while a casualty is moved or waits for help, and quality immobilisation is integral to the recovery of skeletal injuries. Supplied rolled rather than folded — the same splint, in the format that suits a round pocket or bag better than a flat one. Shrink-wrapped for protection, 90 x 11cm.

Aluminium Foam Splint FAQs
Why an aluminium foam splint rather than a rigid one?
Adaptability. A rigid splint fits one shape; a mouldable aluminium splint bends to the limb and holds that shape, so a single splint covers wrists, forearms, ankles and lower legs. It also cuts to length if needed.
How is it secured?
With a support bandage over the splint — a conforming or crepe bandage is usual. The splint provides the rigidity; the bandage holds it against the limb. Firmly, but never so tight that circulation is affected below it.
Which size should a kit carry?
A 90cm splint covers the most ground because it can be cut or folded down, so it is the sensible single choice. Sites that see a lot of hand and wrist injuries often add the short 22cm as well.
Can it be reused?
It can be re-formed and reused for training and non-clinical purposes, and should be inspected first — a splint that has been sharply creased or torn no longer holds shape reliably. For treating a fresh injury, use a clean splint.
